lar pearl, dissolved in vinegar, to
eat. Now it is also recorded that
Antony was swinish enough to abuse
his privilege of office by getting away
with millions of the peoples money;
how then would this pass for the

struck several amateurs As rather in the style
of Sir Joshua Reynolds. and that view has
since been confirmed by experts Boston

ATTORNEY GENERALS OPINION.
The Cattle Commissioners Can Do About
They Please.

In response TO the request from the cattle
commissioners, Attorney General Baker,
yesterday. rendered an opinion regarding the
duties and obligations required of them by
law, relative to the disposal of herds of cattle
infected with tuberculosis or other contagious
disease. He decided that they could act at
their discretion in the matter and do that
which was for the best interest of the State
and the cattle industry. He did not construe
the law as making it mandatory for the COM
missioners to Kill the whole Of herd of cat
tie at the expense of the State, because one or
two members might be infected, but the off :
Gals should go just as far as was required to
protect from the further ravsges of the dis.

The last trip of the famous Boston and Mt
Desert limited (vestibule) train for the sea-
son of 1887 will be made from Boston to Bar
Harbsr ON Friday, Sept. 9th, and from Bar
Hsrbor to Boston on the following day, as it
is believed by that time the other trains now
running, which are precisely those in effect
last year, will be able to take care of the
travel for the remainder of the season. 1t has
beeni demonstrated as a fact that this train was
necessity, as its four Pullmsns, always well
filed, added to cars hauled by other trains,
would have rendered those trains too heavy
to be easily handled. Indeed the success OF
the limited train has far surpassed the most
ssnguine hopes of the officers of the Maine
Central and Boston & Maine railroads; so
much so that il has almost been determined
TO run this train another year, and even this
season many times the cars have been all
hiled at Boston, thus leaving no chance for
passengers at other stations who otherwise
would have taken this train. This difficulty
will be remedied when the train is again put
on by the addition OF more cars. The peo-
Pile of Maine may justly be proud of rail
road which gives to them one of the finest. if
not the finest road extant, with its one
